I keep hearing NH politicians talk about the New Hampshire advantage but there isn’t any advantage to living here if you are a homeowner! The legislature refuses their constitutional duty to fund our schools and that refusal raises property taxes to the level of living in Massachusetts..

Surely there are many members of congress discerning enough to realize that: Minnesota is not the problem! Jerome Powell is not a crook! Venezuela is not the source of the US drug problem! Greenland shouldn’t be threatened! You cannot wait for voters to correct their mistake..

WTF Dick the telephone guy on quantum mechanics Neils Bohr is the reason I became interested in quantum mechanics. A revered scientist who said that the basic building blocks of our universe did not have actual existence until we observed them.

WTF! Dick the telephone guy on quantum mechanics: The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics was Bohr’s attempt to link the theory of atomic particles with our perceptions of the world we inhabit

Einstein felt that quantum particles had actual existence independent of human observation or measurement! He felt that Bohr’s interpretation revealed a fundamental problem with the theory..

Instead of saying that quantum particles are so tiny that only mathematical predictions of their behavior is possible: he said that our language is inadequate to describe the quantum world. In fact, he said, these particles do not have actual existence until they are measured by our equipment!

I think Joe Biden was a good president for the most part! His mental acuity may have slipped over the edge toward the end of his term but the ship of state sailed on! There was no malice or chaos! America was respected! The good old days when America was great..

The world needs to build consensus! We careen from one narrowly won election to another! Left wing nuts replaced by right wing fools! Rally around a centrist and allow time for sanity to be built from chaos..

He seemed imbecilic during the presidential debates! He picked hacks and flunkies for his cabinet! His idea of gov efficiency is a dumpster fire! He thinks trade wars will make us great! C’mon voters correct your horrible mistake..

America’s real budget problem is a congress that cannot control its’ spending and an upper class that will not pay its’ fair share of the tax burden. Don’t be fooled by these slackers..

Americans here is the truth! MAGA is a minority! Trump could not be elected without a narrow band of angry Democrats and Independents who wished to express their anger at Biden by snubbing Kamala! It was a grievous error.

Attention Gov workers do not wait around for Elon’s ax to destroy your life! Everyone walk off the job in protest! Shut it all down until you are treated with fairness and respect..

Wtf! Dick the telephone guy on Quantum Mechanics In 1964 CERN physicist John S Bell, who was sympathetic to Einstein’s criticism of prevailing quantum interpretations created an impossibility proof known as the Bell inequality.

Locality and separability limit correlation of entangled particles to below certain limits. Entangled particles exceed these limits all too often! So reality requires some form of non locality or non separability!

Bell’s inequality and follow up experiments showed Einstein was wrong and Bohr was right! According to Bell: “in his arguments with Bohr Einstein was wrong in all the details. In his philosophy of physics and his idea of what it is all about, Einstein is absolutely admirable”..

Dick the telephone guy on Quantum Mechanics: In the hundred year physics quarrel between Einstein and Bohr, Einstein is losing by default because there are no scientific conferences under way to settle the issue!

Bohr’s vision while successful says the foundation of our universe are insubstantial particles of fuzzy existence that depend on our observations. Perhaps great scientific theory but lousy philosophy..

Dick the telephone guy on Quantum Mechanics: The road to knowledge of reality is littered with discarded theories. Occasionally some are accepted as truth. Einstein’s theories of Relativity seem to be such. These were true inspirations of genius!

Einstein’s follow up ideas about the nature of light led us to Quantum Mechanics. This where things get weird. Quantum Mechanics seems to be truth or part of the truth but it is devoid of any connection to the reality science is trying to explain…

Dick the telephone guy on Quantum Mechanics: Einstein said that Quantum Mechanics was incomplete, that God does not play dice with the Universe. Fellow physicist Neils Bohr said that our language is inadequate to describe the Quantum world.

In fact quantum particles did not have actual existence until they are measured by our equipment. One hundred years later the argument basically still sits where Bohr and Einstein left it..

Dick the telephone guy on Quantum Mechanics: It is not like Einstein was never wrong, he believed in locality, the idea that local effects have local causes. It turns out that is not the way the universe works. So thank you John Bell.. I think..

You are up to date.
